Itsa Pretty Shitty City

Interesting that the government investment in Cardiff is costing about £44k per job created, while the Swansea city region is about 7k per job.

Not necessarily, there could just be lower hanging fruit to be got in the Swansea area.
There is a significant amount of private investment in both plans,, but i just took the government investment and divided that by the number of jobs created.

Sounds like another grants-fest

Wasn't the Cardiff Capital Region deal for £5.2bn investment signed last year?
